OT Television rights CART Canada

I am really get sick and tired of these TV rights issues with networks. I was sitting here watching the Cart race from Mexico and it is about 3/4 into it and up pops on my TV screen due too rights issues in Canada we can no longer broadcast this program on Speed Channel. So now in order for me to watch the race I have to either stay up and watch it at 1:00 am on TSN or tape it. UGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I guess my phone call to my cable compamny and I am sure a number of other callers worked. The race is back on. I lost about 15 laps or so.

Wow. That's even worse than Bernie suddenly realising ITV's F1 contract didn't cover qualifying a couple of years back!

Welcome the wonderful world of Canadian TV and TSN race coverage. Racing on Canadian TV is a second class sport. If you want decent race coverage you need to get a US based satellite system it seems.

I don't want to screw with HU emulators or whatever. I'd happily mail a payment to DirectTV every month to get their service "legally". I like cycling too... OLN(US) carries weekly European cycling yet OLN(CAN) puts crap like Cottage Country in its place. F**k... I don't even know anyone that owns a cottage... who cares. I hate the CRTC. Canadian content my ass... like I need to see Dave Chalk's useless face on TechTV every hour. Gee, a scanner Dave... yes that's facinating. Wow, a USB connection... thanks for that demo. Dale.

I'm in Vancouver, BC and I saw all of Qualifying 1, CART Friday night, Qualifying 2, pre-race show and the race, and even most of the 2 re-broadcasts on Sunday night, no problem. It was fabulous, aside from Derek Daly's semi-annoying useless banter. -Phasor

Yes, same here... I'm in Alberta, maybe it's a western Canada thing. Regards, Robin
